Schedule:
• Registration: 10:00AM – 10:30AM
• Announcements: 10:30AM – 10:45AM
• Game 1: 10:45AM – 1:15PM

• Game 2: 2:00PM – 4:30PM

Army Composition:
Armies will be comprised of up to 2000 points using composition rules in the Pitched Battles section of the General’s Handbook 2022.
For this event, we will fix the unit costs on July 16th, and any new warscrolls released after this date will not be allowed.
Allegiance Abilities, Artifacts, Spells, Etc.:
Grand Strategies, Command Traits, Enhancements, (Artifacts, Mount Traits, etc.) as well as any spells, prayers, etc. must be included on your lists when you submit your lists in the BCP app.
These will not change throughout the course of the tournament.
Realm Rules:
We will be using all the Realm Rules as described in the General’s Handbook 2022.
Battle Tactics and Grand Strategies:
Only Battle Tactics and Grand Strategies from the GHB 2022 are allowed for this event. No battletome or White Dwarf tactics or strategies are allowed.
Terrain:
Every table will be set up with terrain prior to the start of the GT. All terrain will be pre-labeled with tokens using the Mysterious Terrain table (28.1.3). Do not roll on the table as described on page 11 of the GHB.
If a player has faction terrain that is placed prior to set up, that player may nudge table terrain to allow faction terrain to fit. We ask that you use common sense here. The intent is that table terrain is moved the minimum distance required. Please consult a TO if there is a dispute.
Similarly, if an objective marker cannot sit flat, or if an objective marker interacts with a terrain feature in a way that will lead to a negative play experience (on a hill, etc.), players may nudge terrain to accommodate the objective marker as long as both players agree.
Defensible Terrain:
There will be a various types of terrain features at the GT. Use rule 17.1.2 as a guide for what is and is not defensible. If there is still a question, we encourage players to resolve the issue between themselves.
If there is still a dispute, the TO will decide if a terrain piece is defensible.
Army Submission:
All army lists are required to be created using Warscroll Builder or the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar app.
